Well, we should probably start organizing this thing, eh? Last year, we had the party when the books came from Tor. Seems like a sound enough tradition.
I haven't gotten them yet, but they should come next week. Are people interested in a party at the Salt Lake Bucca Di Beppo (or however you spell that?) Or, with the wedding and Worldcon, are folks over-partied?
Edit:
Confirmed attendees
Brandon and Emily
Dan and Dawn(?)
Eric and Wife
Skar and Kristina
Charisa
Jeff/42
Sprig
Total: 11

Sounds like fun. Would it be possible to postpone it until after the 12th?
-
I'm all in, assuming I'm invited.
-
I'd be up for it if it was at the Midvale Bucca, no reason to go all the way to 4th.
-
If you have it on Wednesday, Aug 23 I *might* be able to convince my wife I can show up.
-
Now that would rock. I haven't seen E in years.
-
It would be great to go.
Though I also would appreciate it after the 12th.
-
If you have it on Wednesday, Aug 23 I *might* be able to convince my wife I can show up.
Unfortunately that would be the day that we're driving to WorldCon.
-
Piffle. Where are your priorities?
-
When are you going to be out here, E? Just that day, or a range?
-
ha! I haven't even been watching the worldcon thread. guess the 23rd is right out. :D
Here's my schedule (roughly). I fly into SLC on Friday 18th. Not sure what time I arrive. I stay at my grandparents in Bountaful till monday lunchtime-ish (or a little later). Then we head up to Bear lake for a few days, Pretty sure I'm back in central Utah on Wednesday. Then it's down to Flagstaff on Thursday and back hom the following sunday.
So. if we did it that Saturday (the 19th) I could probably do it too.
note that my whole family will be there (wife, 4 spawnlings). I'm pretty sure we'd get my cousin to babysit though instead of bringing any rugrats.
However, if that's not working for people, I won't complain. Until this morning, I had no plans at all to see friends, so i'm cool with that.
-
I could probably swing the 19th to see E. And I vote we do it at downtown Buca, just to see if Sprig actually refuses to come.
-
lol.
Let's make it official, then! The chance to see Eric is too good to pass up. Plus, I'll be signing in West Jordan that afternoon, so it will be very easy to pop over for a Bucca party that evening.
So, let's say 6:00pm at the Midvale Bucca. Everyone post on this thread if you can come, and I'll make a reservation!
Note: I am NOT paying this time! (Except for me and Emily.)
-
I'll confirm this with my wife and let you know tonight or tomorrow
-
Sounds like a plan.
-
Plans rarely survive the first encounter with the enemy.
-
6:00. 19th. Bucca. Midvale. Good.
-
we can make it. so consider me official now.
-
Kristina and I are in.
-
I'll be there. Will let you know if I'm bringing anyone.
-
Who ever it is she'll probably dump you after we cut up the chicken with our swords.
-
I believe someone is jealous Ctrldzdedzedzd. Very Jealous. =P
-
Jealous of the Zed? The Zed doesn't even have a girlfriend. And besides, I only date girls who think swords are cool.
But I'm so uncoordinated that I'd probably chop off limbs instead of food. That's what would get me dumped.
-
We'll have to make sure to keep you away from the swords, Zed, so the girls will remain unaware of your clutzyness ... and the rest of us will be able to keep our limbs! (Can you imagine trying to eat pasta with no arms?)
-
No arms? All ye need is a mouth to eat pasta.
-
I hate you all. I'm out of town until the 21st.
-
I hate you all. Â I'm out of town until the 21st.
Well, I'm out of state until forever if it makes you feel any better. :-/
-
Hey Brandon, is there still room for Chris, me, and Brenna (don't have a babysitter--but she's a well behaved baby) to come?
If so, we'll be there! :)
(And maybe that'd be a good place to pick our book up from you if Janci left it with you.)
-
Brenna,
Yes! Of course there's room!
p.s. Thanks for the wedding gift. It's awesome!
-
Excellent! We'll see you all there, then.
And I'm glad you liked the present. It was fun to make!
-
So, where's the fun? Where's the pictures? Where are the messy afterthoughts?!
-
I don't think anyone took any pictures, but as for messy afterthoughts, we're all still wondering where Eric was.
But, good food was had, and lots of fun. 17 people total, I believe.
-
That's too bad that Eric didn't make it. That would have been a nice reunion.
-
It turns out that Mustard was planning to come, and just forgot. What a geek.
-
I told Sprig wehre I was in the small amount of time I had Internet access the last 10 days.
short form: I pretty much just suck and am retarded.
We were at my Sister's house in Hooper most of that day (she has horses that the girls loved) and basically we forgot entirely that we were going. We were somewhere north of Bountiful when you guys were meeting, and still sweaty and hadn't taken the kids to Farmington yet for babysitting. and just couldn't make it at that point.
I am very very disappointed, and also very very sorry on ditching you.
